Hello! Can someone recommend me some cheap case fans for Cooler Master Masterbox MB510? My motherboard is MSI B450M Bazooka V2. I found the Arctic P12 PWN PST but I'm not sure if it's a good choice. Thank you very much in advance! Have a great day!
 
Solution
Avoid cheap fans as they can be slow any noisy , make sure you have the pull cold air in ones on the front and side.
Depending on the shape of the fan blades you will feel a draught on your hand making you think it is mounted the wrong way round.
To test if it is sucking air in , hold a small post it note sized piece of paper against the case where the fan is , the pull of the blades should stop it dropping on the floor.

can you please recommend me 1-2 models that are decent and at a low price?
 
Nice case.
Your case supports three 120mm front intake fans or two 140mm fans.
Keep the included 120mm as a rear exhaust, mainly to direct airflow over your components.
I like 140mm fans because they are quieter and move more air.
And, you only need two of them.

They can be found for about $10 each.
If you value quiet and quality look for noctua for about $20 each.

Be quiet and corsairs ML fans are pretty good too. Prefer BQ fans myself
